iPhone with a light-up Apple logo

If you feel that your iPhone alone no longer carries the cachet it once did, what with the price dropping and all, this may be just the modification that you need to stand out among the crowd. iPhones.ru has a teaser glimpse of an iPhone hack that causes the Apple logo on the back of the device to light up when the screen is turned on. Details are sketchy, but it appears that the hack involves replacing the metal insert on the back of the phone with an LED-equipped plastic one; custom software allows the user to select the brightness of the glowing effect independently of screen brightness… or maybe they’re just using the backlight.

Cool! Another way for the all-to-common and already-smug showoffs who bought iPhones to make themselves stand out and show how “individual” buying an apple product makes them!

And no, I’m not insinuating that all iphone owners are smug assholes, just saying that there are tons of them out there and this is right up their alley, just like the incredibly populer pretending to be on the phone gag.
